FORK sensor WFM

  • Plug-and-play fork sensors – connect and get started.
  • The WFM fork sensors are extremely quick and easy to mount and commission thanks to plug and play.
  • Their yellow receive indicator can be seen all the way round, providing optimum feedback on the switching behavior of the WFM. Since the sender and receiver are integrated within the same housing, there is no need for any complex alignment work, allowing detection tasks to be prepared and completed quickly and easily.
  • WFM have a rugged aluminum housing and are available in five different designs with fork widths ranging from 30 mm to 180 mm and fork depths of between 40 mm and 120 mm.
  • SICK’s fork sensors are suited to numerous applications, such as detecting parts in production processes, checking whether various objects are present, or intralogistic processes.

Condition Monitoring sensors Multi Physics Box

Chi tiết sản phẩm[block id="chevron-right"]

  • Condition Monitoring sensors for vibration, shock, and temperature monitoring
  • The Multi Physics Box Condition Monitoring sensor allows for continuous condition-based monitoring of, for example, motors, pumps, conveyor systems or fans. It measures vibrations, shocks, and temperature, thereby providing indications of potential faults and machine failures. If the measured values exceed the individually configurable thresholds, an alert is output. For vibration values, the vibration monitoring thresholds for machines according to ISO 10816-3 can be implemented via a multi-stage alert.
  • The sensor can be integrated into the machine or system via IO-Link or a simple alarm-based switching signal.
  • Whether on-site or in conjunction with a Cloud Service: The Multi Physics Box creates a data foundation that can be used to avoid unplanned downtime and effectively lower costs.
